  Dear Educators,

I am looking for a few fellow presenters for an ASTC session.  You can 
find a brief description below:

In order to have a successful outreach program, shows need to be offered 
on a variety of topics to a variety of grades.  Frequently you perform 
the same basic show for a variety of grades within the same school.  
Teachers are often concerned that the material is adapted to the 
specific grades.  But thus is easier said then done.  How can the same 
basic concepts and demonstrations be adapted for kindergarten versus an 
eighth grade class?   How does the vocabulary and presentation of the 
concepts vary as we ascend into secondary grades?

In this practical session, we will begin with a single science topic and 
convey the best developmental mode and level to present this information 
to a kindergarten audience.  The session will progress in a cognitive 
format as we continue to demonstrate and discuss developmental 
appropriateness for each phase through the secondary grades.

 Are there any developmental experts out there who could lend a hand?  
Please contact me as soon as possible.  Thanks.

-Paul
